Chapter 748

Luweiya bought two 【Dandelion Coin】s from the black market this time; she had heard the news since the summer of this year and finally got her hands on them through various channels.

And now, Luweiya hoped that these two coins could bring the content of the "Death Chosen One Ritual."

The coins were thrown into the sky by her fair right hand; Xia De and the cat on the sofa raised their heads in unison, only to find that the coins didn't change at all and fell straight back to the original place.

"Looks like it's not enough."

Saying that, Luweiya took out the 【Diviner's Silver Coin】, but was stopped by Xia De:

"This is a rare relic that can assist in divination and assist in peeking into fate. Are you really willing to consume it directly?"

The purple-eyed girl was indeed hesitant, and Xia De took out that blood money:

"Use this."

Luweiya shook her head immediately:

"How can this be? The only relic we currently master that can detect the same type of relics is it."

"Coins are sometimes not the key; the key is what we want to do."

Xia De slapped the 【Pirate's Blood Money】 on the table:

"Relying on the induction of blood money, we have already found too many coins; sometimes people cannot be too greedy. Moreover, I don't want to run into those dangerous location-type relics for the sake of blood money again and be forced to play Luo De cards with all kinds of guys who are good at cheating."

Xia De said with a smile, and Luweiya also showed a smile:

"Yes, people cannot be too greedy. If we blindly rely on blood money to find blood money, I'm afraid we will fall into the trap of greed sooner or later; this is also a characteristic that relics like blood money have. Yes, Xia De, this is correct."

She seemed to have figured it out and twisted the blood money:

"Finding Iluna initially relied on blood money. Now in the blink of an eye, it has reached the third Chosen One; time really passes fast."

The three coins fluttered in the light of the gas lamp; at a certain moment, Xia De seemed to see colorful brilliance floating around the rotating coins.

After reaching the highest point, rust marks appeared on the surface of the coins, and they decayed rapidly during the falling process until they scattered into invisible smoke and disappeared.

Luweiya opened her eyes, purple light traces flashed in her eyes, and the white figure behind her seemed to appear for an instant; that figure was smiling at Xia De.

"Very good, I have completely understood the ritual. Relatively speaking, this ritual is more dangerous."

(Little Mia is running...)

On Monday morning, Xia De, who walked out of the Sikar Mountains through the thick fog, made a request to the nun of the Blind House to meet Sister Daelin.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the carriage Sister Daelin was riding in broke through the thick fog of the city and stopped downstairs at the Blind House; the nun met Xia De, who had been waiting by the window for a long time, in the reception room on the third floor.

This thick fog was even more terrifying than last week; not having come to this city for half a week, the city seemed to have fallen asleep in the white fog. And the whisper elements in the white fog didn't even need Xia De's soul sensitivity to feel. The Interstice was constantly approaching Midhillburg in the material world, and the boundary between life and death was overlapping with the world of the living.

"Sister Daelin, the third nail was found and removed by me last week."

"This is very good. The news from the Orthodox Church confirmed this point and believes that it was done by the 【God Caller】 who has not appeared yet. But Grandma Cassandra said on the weekend that this matter is highly likely related to you."

The nun was still in that tone.

"I heard last week that the church also found the whereabouts of the last nail; don't know if there has been any progress on the weekend?"

"Yes, the Chosen One Iluna Miss Beiyasi led the team and successfully caught the last nail. Because it is not certain whether the clown taken away by Joey Barton has been sent away, the church has not removed him for the time being."

Xia De looked at the fog outside the window and pondered for a moment:

"Regarding Joey Barton, Sister, how much do you know now?"

"I once visited him with you. He is the Chosen One of Death, now fled to the Interstice, and is trying to break the rules of life and death to bring back a dead person."

"Yes."

Xia De carefully prepared his language:

"Regarding "Whispering Poetry," do you know that the Chosen One of a certain identity actually has an inheritance rank? And it is not just one person."

The nun sitting on the sofa paused, aimed her eye patch at Xia De's back, and shook her head slightly:

"Don't know."

This matter was learned by Iluna from the knowledge of the Chosen One; the church and the academy might know, but the 【Spirit Cultivation Sect】 after all was only a regional ring sorcerer group, and really didn't know about this point.

"This is the same as the succession rank of the throne; the first succession rank is of course the most important, but if the first rank dies before inheriting the throne, that is, before holding the ritual, then the subsequent ranks can be substituted in turn. And now, there are at least four candidates in Midhillburg City. Among them, the first candidate is of course Joey Barton. Although he only has one ring, his control over the power of death is very terrifying."

"Are you trying to say that I am the second candidate for the Chosen One of Death?"

The nun's tone was very calm, even making Xia De think she had known it for a long time.

"Yes."

"I understand."

Xia De really wanted to ask the nun what exactly she understood:

"You probably also know that I frequently traveled between Tobesk and Midhillburg this autumn. This is not because I like it here, but because I am looking for the Chosen One."

He turned around and sure enough saw the nun "looking" at him.

"Although I am on good terms with the witches, I don't have any power myself and can only be considered an ordinary correspondence ring sorcerer. But because of special reasons, I am pursuing the thirteen Chosen Ones, pursuing and witnessing those epic scenes.

The Chosen One of Balance, Iluna Miss Beiyasi, is my close friend; the Chosen One of Darkness, Ivan Darkness, was actually the first one I met in Coldwater Port."

The nun didn't make a sound, just listened quietly.

"When all thirteen Chosen Ones appear, the survivors will push open a door, and that door will determine the future of this world. Sister, now Joey Barton is walking on the tightrope of making a big mistake, and I want to prepare a second plan in advance. Hope you can be prepared; if Joey Barton dies before holding the ritual, please hold the ritual immediately."

"Okay."

Clearly it was such an important conversation, but Sister Daelin's cold voice made Xia De feel like he was saying what to eat for lunch today.

His expression was very serious:

"I specially came to see you today to inform you about the entire content of the Chosen One ritual. But before telling, I want you to guarantee one thing. If Joey Barton really dies and you inherit the seat of the Chosen One, hope you can go see someone with me; that is also a companion on my path of pursuing the Chosen One. Hope our friendship can last forever, and don't tell anyone about this matter, don't even tell the witches."

"In the name of the Primal Fire."

The nun said, then stood up and left the sofa; in the open space between the sofa and the window, her two hands were slightly held up, and that slender flame rose in her palm:

"Xia De Su Lun Hamilton, may you and I become allies of fire."

"Okay."

Xia De nodded; he trusted Sister Daelin's character very much:

"The Chosen One ritual always contains three parts: first, the Chosen One understands the meaning of the corresponding identity, that is, to understand the meaning of death; second, to prepare an item related to the power of the corresponding ancient god."

He paused, and the nun nodded:

"The sect collects some ancient objects passed down from the previous era."

"That's good, the last is the ritual content. Before the ritual begins, it is necessary to send away a resurrected person as a ritual certificate; this point we have already achieved on the top of Sikar Mountain in the Interstice."

Not only did the nun achieve it, but the other two candidates also achieved it.

"The ritual location must be at the boundary of life and death; the specific method is to commit suicide in the boundary land, and in the deepest soul slumber, grasp the feeling that all mortals die and all things end, and thereby resurrect again."

Compared to balance and darkness, the ritual requirements of death were obviously more demanding:

"Don't worry about suicide reversal; the normal ritual process will not let the Chosen One truly die, so reversal will not happen."

Xia De added:

"Sister, I hope you can prepare in advance. I have very reliable eyes and ears in the Orthodox Church; once I find Joey Barton, I will go see him immediately. If he really doesn't want to turn back, then he is our enemy."

"I understand."

The nun nodded again, and she also had things to say:

"Mr. Hamilton, I hope that after all the things in Midhillburg City end, you can follow me to the station of the 【Spirit Cultivation Sect】. Regarding the Primal Fire and some other things, I want to talk to you."

"This is of course no problem."

Xia De had always been very interested in the station of the 【Spirit Cultivation Sect】, but even Grandma Cassandra didn't know where it was.

Xia De stayed away from Midhillburg and spent half a week relaxing in Tobesk; various things in the local area were also happening. In the late autumn Mibao under the thick fog, the public security situation deteriorated sharply, and the evil spirit events handled by the Orthodox Church in the past few days were more than the past few months combined.

Besides that, because the Interstice was increasingly approaching the real world, more strange things were happening.

When Xia De had lunch with Grandma Cassandra and Miss Aurora at noon, the witches mentioned a strange sleeping sickness that appeared in the city:

"Ordinary people with strong enough inspiration can also feel the existence of the Interstice. If they have obsessions in their hearts, and the souls of the people they miss are really in the Interstice, then these people can let their consciousness appear in the Interstice in dreams, and be attracted by the souls in the Interstice, unconsciously following them toward death."

Miss Aurora said while drinking the red wine Xia De made, paused and looked at the wine glass:

"What kind of sorcery is this? Has Saint Byrons developed the ability to brew wine?"

Xia De didn't want to say that the essence of blood brewing was eating people, so he skipped this topic.
